Astronomy Through History

Stars are responsible for the formation of many of the elements that make up our universe, and even our bodies. But how did the stars form? 
In this episode, Seren follows the journey of the birth of the star from itty bitty particles drifting through space, just beginning to coalesce, to the first fusion taking place within the new star's core. In the process, they talk about nebulae, protostar stages, and some of the stranger objects linked to star formation. They also give an update on NASA's SLS rocket and some in-depth Herbig Haro Objects 24, 25, and 26 (HH 24-26).
